Onsen UI
The best place to start with Onsen UI is our Getting Started page.
Built on top of AngularJS and Topcoat, Onsen UI is open source, free and open for all. Onsen UI is designed and implemented to deliver unprecedented user experience for your apps. Applications can be built using HTML tags web developers already know and love. We love AngularJS and all the power it brings. But we've also added support for JQuery so developers less familiar with AngularJS can take advantage of Onsen UI, too.
Onsen UI also includes Onsen CSS Components, a free resource of UI templates with "theme roller" functionality. Developers can pick and choose, grab the code they need, and they're off and running. And they can create their own templates and submit to Onsen UI to be included with other templates available.
Our Monaca IDE fully supports Onsen UI plugin.

Download the latest build
A new build is generated every time the code changes. It can be downloaded on this page.
Please use this with caution. However, we are very grateful if people try it out so we can find bugs and things to improve before the sharp releases.
How to build
$ git clone https://github.com/OnsenUI/OnsenUI.git
- Open the terminal from OnsenUI directory
$ cd OnsenUI
- Install dependencies using npm
$ npm install
$ [sudo] npm install -g gulp
- Type gulp to start building
$ gulp build
The files will be built and copied into build, demo/lib/onsen/, and app/lib/onsen/ folder.
Running Demo
$ npm install
$ [sudo] npm install -g gulp
$ gulp serve
Running the test suite
Onsen UI has end-to-end testing using Protractor. Use the following command to run the tests:
$ npm install
$ gulp test
It will take some time the because it will download a stand-alone Selenium Server and a Chrome webdriver the first time it's executed.
To run a single test or a group of tests use the --specs
parameter and provide a comma-separated list of spec files:
$ gulp test --specs test/e2e/lazyRepeat/scenarios.js
Developing your app
Our Monaca IDE makes it super easy to create Onsen UI project, but if you want to use other IDEs, we provide project templates for you in the project_templates
folder. You will see the instruction on how to run the project there.
Documentation
See the current Onsen UI docs.
Developing Onsen UI
Run gulp task to develop Onsen UI itself with livereload.
gulp serve
Access http://0.0.0.0:8000/demo/index.html and your code changes will be reloaded.

How to contribute
We will happily accept contributions to Onsen UI. It can be both fixes for bugs or typos or even new features that extend Onsen UI.
The basic workflow when making contributions is the following:
After you've made a pull request we will review it. If everything is fine and we like the change the contribution will be pulled into the main Onsen UI repository. In the case where there are some issues with the code or we disagree with how it's been implemented we will describe the issues in the comments so they can be corrected.
Contributors
Please see the full list of contributors.
Source code structure
The following is an overview of how the source code is structures to give contributors an idea of where to look when making changes.
Please don't make changes directly to generated files like onsenui.js
and onsenui.css
!
Components
Components will generally have one "view" file and one "directive" file.
- View files are located in
[/framework/views/](/OnsenUI/OnsenUI/tree/master/framework/views)
. The view file contains the logic of the component. This is often the place to look when making additions or fixes to a component. - Directive files are found in the
[/framework/directives/](/OnsenUI/OnsenUI/tree/master/framework/directives)
directory. These files define the AngularJS directives.
Style sheets
Most of the style is defined in a separate project called Onsen CSS Components
which is located here.
Changes to the style should be made by editing the files in this directory. These files will compile into the onsen-css-components.css
file.
There is also a stylesheet that is specific to the custom elements called onsenui.css
, this file is compiled from the files in this directory.
Code style
There are some things to keep in mind when making code contributions to Onsen UI. The code must adhere to the general code style used.
Here is a list of some rules that should be followed:
- Code should be properly indented. Onsen UI uses two-space indentation in both HTML and JavaScript. Please don't use tabs for indentation.
- Separate binary operators with spaces:
var x = 1+1
is incorrect, it should be written as: var x = 1 + 1
. if
, while
, for
, etc. should be separated from the paranthesis with a space.- Use easy-to-understand and logical naming for your variables and method names, especially for variables and methods that are exposed to the user.
- Internal APIs should be preceded by an underscore.
- Use single quotes for strings in JavaScript and double quotes for attributes in HTML.
